Princes Street Area 360º Panoramas and Video
This gallery has >330 photos but my Amazon Prime gallery has >1300 photos though less info.
The Ross Bandstand's stage is draped with a sign proclaiming 'New Life in Christ'. A smaller sign peeps out from below telling people not to cross the platform.
In Princes Street Gardens, overlooked by the castle. Most times I've seen them, they haven't been working.
It's a while since the exit ramp from Waverley Station was this quiet.
1980. Photographed from Calton Hill. This is a 2005 scan of this negative.
The view from South St Andrew Street Looking south across Princes Street towards Cockburn Street and the Old Town.
A telephoto shot from the Calton Hill. Pedestrians have rather more room now than they did then.
The spiral stairway inside Walter Scott's monument.
Previously featured as a scanned print. John Menzies window in Princes Street and Supertramp's Breakfast In America LP was being promoted. Good album.
They renamed it to Princes Mall and tore out the only features worth keeping. Now it's plain and boring, like just any old shopping mall, anywhere.
An office worker comes to East Princes Street Gardens in her lunch hour and gets chatted to by an Einstein lookalike.
At the foot of The Mound. The Rev A B Cameron also used to play the bagpipes - but not particularly well.
A cropped close-up with text which is just legible
Brown Of The Mound. The old stationers closing down. Now it's a drinking establishment called The Carwash.
They dropped the CAR from CARWASH and it's now just called WASH.
Recently restored and looking quite magnificent. Golden mermaids with long tresses and spirally intertwined twin tails.
A closer look at the fine detail.
2001 Xmas was very cold in Edinburgh, ideal for ice-skating. This is in East Princes Street Gardens below the Scott Monument.
Sunlight shines on the gold letters and also enhances the carved masonry on this fine old building.
Jenners photographed from the top of the Scott Monument. The monument's shadow falls across the south west corner of the famous department store.
In this shot you can see people through the windows. Also just visible is some fine netting, presumably to prevent pigeons and starlings from spoiling the beautifully restored stonework.
The interior of Jenners main hall. 'Contemporary since 1938' was their slogan. They are no longer an independent company.
I photographed these two ladies in the '70s on my Yashica TL Electro 35mm SLR. This shot was taken with my Pentax *ist digital camera.
The south-facing stained glass window inside the monument lights up brightly with the early afternoon sunshine.
Near the west end of Princes Street were these wonky windows which, I remember, once belonged to the Monseigneur News Theatre.
The building on the right with the wavy windows has had a new roof. It formerly had two windows which leant towards each other.
There are two ramps connecting the train station to Waverley Bridge. This is how the entrance ramp looked in 2002.
Essentially the same picture as the one above but from further away through a long lens. The perspective is radically different.
A hand-painted sign in keeping with the curved, wrought iron gate standing at the entrance to a lane on the south side of the street.
Just round the corner is this elegant old shop front at first floor level. Some of the window panes are of curved glass.
Rutland Street headquarters of ZERO TOLERANCE CHARITABLE TRUST aka ZT TRADING LTD. What goes on behind that blue door, I wonder...
This is the eastern corner of Rutland Square, photographed from the footbridge which crosses Rutland Court Lane on the way to the junction of Lothian Road and the Western Approach Road.
This is the view in the opposite direction.
In the passageway there are revolving glass doors on either side. Lights are set into the floor.
Lothian Road is on the left and the Western Approach Road is on the right. The stairs in the middle lead up to the Insurance Company's main entrance.
I love this statue in Shandwick Place at the centre of Coates Crescent. The woman looks so natural, looking up from whatever it is she's reading...
The Art of Star Wars exhibition ran here for some time. This is a view of the building as seen from the roof of Princes Mall.
The 2nd picture is zoomed back to reveal the Scotsman building which has been converted to a hotel following The Scotsman newspaper's relocation to Holyrood Road.
A closer look at the City Art Centre taken from across Market Street, near the entrance to Waverley Station.
Waverley Bridge where two vintage double decker buses are waiting for visitors to take a city tour.
The lane leading from the St James Centre to St Andrew Square, adjacent to the Harvey Nichols store. All the shops are still unoccupied.
The Duke of Wellington points the way (roughly in the direction of Arthur's Seat) while the Balmoral Hotel towers overhead.
No post-processing in this second shot of the statue.
Photographed November 2009, a similar shot showing a wider view from a few steps back.
In West Register Street near the east end of Princes Street is this classic eating and drinking establishment.
The shell of the old GPO building, the Balmoral Hotel, the castle rock, the Caledonian Hotel, Murrayfield rugby ground and the main railway west.
Two parallel lines of police stand at the foot of The Mound ready to deflect the protesters from James Gillespie's High School into West Princes Street Gardens.
'Blood Oil' says one placard, whilst another reads 'The only Bush I trust is my own'. Building workers at the Royal Scottish Academy watch the proceedings.
Margaret Thatcher, The Grim Reaper and Tony Blair are represented here. A protester carries a sign saying 'This war is pants'.
Attempts by the police at keeping the protesters in Princes Street Gardens have failed and now they're streaming along the road.
When the one o'clock gun goes off some pupils lie down on the road. Numbers are swelling and a platform is being arranged for people to address the crowd.
Princes Street is now well and truly blocked.
Tommy Sheridan MSP thanks the school children for their attendance at this rally. Mark Thomas, TV satirist also addresses the crowd.
A procession heads back up The Mound to protest in front of the Scottish Parliament. Numbers swell.
'NO BLOOD FOR OIL' is a recurring protest on many home-made signs and placards. The massed multitudes continue their walk up The Mound.
A similar shot to the previous one. Maybe you can spot yourself or your friends here, or perhaps your sons and daughters.
The marchers continue in a good-humoured orderly fashion.
They approach North Bank Street and Mound Place.
The children cheerfully chant in unison '1 2 3 4 We don't want your fucking war!' which is probably audible to the MSPs. The police smile benignly.
Photographed from the other side with Princes Street's West End in the distance.
North Bank Street looking over the crowds towards Edinburgh Castle. There are still plenty of police but there's no trouble and everyone feels relaxed.
The south (west bound) side of Princes Street is clogged up with traffic but the north side, being a car-free zone is clear enough for a cyclist to safely travel east at speed.
Early afternoon and the pavement is thronged with shoppers.
A favourite haunt of bagpipe players. The notorious Golf Sale sign is at the bottom of Hanover Street.
Children can ride what resembles a green worm-like creature entering the apple.
From further away and higher up, only the stalk of the apple is visible behind the open-top tour bus, but the open air ice rink can be seen behind the other attractions.
Cars are not alllowed on Princes Street any more.
'It's what you make of it.' announces this attention-grabbing Rizla poster which appeared on all the busstop shelters.
'itSucks!' [sic] proclaims another busstop advertisement, this time for the Edinburgh Dungeon.
A quiet mews just a few paces from Shandwick Place at the West End (of Princes Street).
Attractive old ironwork supports the pedestrian walkway through the train station.
A long lens shot of the traffic which is predominantly buses now that private cars are banned from virtually all of Princes Street.
An experiment with Photoshop
Connecting Queensferry Street to Stafford Street is this lane running behind the north side of Shandwick Place.
Further along is the delivery entrance to Habitat's Shandwick Place store. Its back entrance doesn't look very posh compared to the front but that's just what you'd expect.
A few metres from the junction of Princes Street, Lothian Road, Shandwick Place and Queensferry Street is the corner of Charlotte Lane.
The same corner as seen from the end of Alva Street.
Apparently two barbers' shops right next door to each other. Presumably they're competing with each other for business.
In 2006 most of the premises are occupied by prestigious shops. This one is currently empty but has an interesting 'distorting mirror' temporary frontage.
'A vibrant new shopping experience' awaits us, we are assured. The atmosphere in here deteriorated after they changed the layout once before.
Another look at the mall from one floor up. There aren't many shoppers here.
Because Waverley Steps are closed this is currently the entrance. There are great plans for the station including an escalator to Princes Street.
Most visitors to this hall at the centre of the station are too preoccupied with obtaining tickets or refreshments to notice the attractive ceiling.
A horizontal shot through the fisheye lens shows all four wood-paneled walls as well as the ornamental ceiling and tiled floor.
October 2006. In the foreground is part of Calton Burial Ground behind which is the old GPO building at the corner of Waterloo Place and North Bridge.
Zoomed in a bit more for a closer look at the gardens on the roof. This corner of Edinburgh has one or two other new roof gardens, at Greenside and New Street.
'Interested in this space?' query the coloured panels concealing unlet premises in this 2007 version of the old Waverley Market.
Same picture but with an extrusion effect applied just for fun.
More empty shops. It was better in here a few years ago.
It's 2008 and Edinburgh's main traffic artery from the west and north has been severed on the approach to Princes Street in order to dig up the road in preparation for trams.
Facing west along Shandwick Place and West Maitland Street towards Haymarket. The empty street is flanked by Atholl Crescent on the left and Coates Crescent on the right.
ALL SHOPS OPEN FOR BUSINESS states the yellow notice. If business is bad then some shops might close.
A closer look into this hole in the road. Hopefully the workers have accurate plans and sophisticated equipment to prevent cutting through electricity, gas or water supplies.
Another '60s monstrosity is to bite the (asbestos laden) dust.
A private carpark for the privileged few.
This is the scene opposite the foot of Lothian Road in April 2012.
The same view from further east in Princes Street near South Charlotte Street.
Facing west from the junction with South Charlotte Street.
Barriers and blossom on the south side of the street.
On the other side of Princes Street there's more room for shoppers to stroll.
Shandwick place resembles the aftermath of an unnatural disaster but the shops are still open, including Jessops and Jacobs [meantime],
Further west along Shandwick Place towards Haymarket the road and part of the gardens are blocked. Bronze statues gaze unknowingly at the scene.
Plastic Pipes a-plenty, ready to be buried under the road to carry all the liquids, cables and stuff we need for life in the city.
At this stage, pedestrians can walk around freely but there's no traffic at all - which lends the scene a ghost town appearance.
Princes Street opposite the foot of Lothian Road. Much new plumbing in evidence under the surface. These blue pipes really look the business.
90m to the east at Princes Street's junction with South Charlotte Street. The top of the Caley hotel can be glimpsed behind St John's church.
Peering between the wires of the fence to get a closer look reveals two makeshift bridges reminciscent of some 3D games.
William Pitt the younger is the statue at the junction of George Street and Frederick Street.
Three rather incongruous features interrupt the waves of glass panels covering the railway station: a gold painted lamp post, a balustrade and a stairway.
Taken more than 30 years after my first picture of the ramp earlier in this gallery.
PEDESTRIANS LOOK BOTH WAYS is on numerous signs vying for your attention.
A lone cyclist emerges from Hope Street into Princes Street.
Let's just hope it's all worth it. I'm old enough to remember traveling on the previous (double decker) trams.
Destinations are shown next to bus numbers. The material it's printed on isn't totally opaque and consequently you can see the castle through it.
Interesting shopping along Rose Street, sandwiched between Princes Street and George Street. It's still quiet at 9am.
St Cuthbert's at the west end of West Princes Street Gardens. Up the steps ahead are Lothian Road and the red sandstone building of the Caledonian Hotel.
There are 3 parallel paths here. The centre one provides access to the public toilets. The path on the right leads to St John's and the left one takes you into the Gardens.
October 2009 and there's finally visual evidence of tram rails amidst the chaos.
The sign directs pedestrians to a shortcut through East Princes Street Gardens but only during daylight hours. Today, 28th November, the sun sets at 1547.
The text on the notice board gives information about The Parish of Saint Cuthbert. It's mid January 2010 and the trees are bare of leaves affording the dramatic view of Edinburgh Castle.
There are some well worn paths up here, created by some modern visitors who sometimes get stuck or panic and have to be rescued.
Princes Street is once again open to buses, taxis and cyclists. Actual trams will come later.
The pedestrianised Rose Street at the back of Princes Street needs a police presence and this car is sufficiently small to allow it access to any trouble spots.
There are many cobbled lanes and mews behind the houses and premises in Edinburgh's new town. This lane is sandwiched between Canning Street and Atholl Crescent Lane.
This magnificent building at the corner of Hanover Street and George Street has been home to Lakeland for a while. They sell mainly up-market kitchen gadgets and tools.
Interesting old architecture in Thistle Street, between George Street and Queen Street.
St Christopher's Inn stands on Market Street which continues past Waverley Bridge up towards Edinburgh Castle.
Part of Waverley Station's roof and wall with numerous stone arches.
Heavy Duty riveted girders dominate this view at the back of Edinburgh Dungeon.
At one time I used to drive into the station and park my car while buying magazines and crisps. Officialdom would soon move me on now if I dared to park in Waverley Station.
'Edinburgh statue for James Clerk Maxwell, physicist who changed the world' The Sunday Times article from November 25, 2008 the day after it was unveiled.
Visit The Royal Society of Edinburgh for pictures & articles including sculptor Alexander Stoddart at work.
A shortcut to the top of The Mound at the west end of East Princes Street Gardens, beside the art galleries.
Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville Dundas was influential in supporting the cause of the abolition of the Slave Trade.
Architecture on the south west corner of S St Andrew Street above TopShop. November 2010.
Half way along the lane towards S St David St is this bridge connecting the two buildings. A scrub and rinse would do wonders for its shabby appearance.
November sunshine caught the Duke of Wellington just right.
Another look at the statue from the other side. The top of Leith Street is in the background.
Strange sights remain briefly after Edinburgh's New Year Celebrations, such as this Ghost Train at the top of Market Street next to Playfair Steps.
This view of the Ghost Train is from the Mound with the Bank of Scotland building in the background.
A New Year's Day view of the Ross Bandstand in Princes Street Gardens.
A New Year's Day view of the Ross Bandstand in Princes Street Gardens.
This time I thought I'd frame Edinburgh Castle in the wrinkly branches.
In current news in June 2011 it's said it would cost £750M to scrap the whole tram project.
Only 2 passengers on a rubber tyred shoppers train. It would've been too much to expect it to be running on the tramlines. Princes St. remains closed to traffic but open to pedestrians.
Bizarrely, there were no parked cars, or indeed pedestrians so I grabbed this rare event.
A bleak vision, looking west along Shandwick Place.
Looking east along Princes Street from Shandwick Place. There is work in progress though...
Further down Frederick Street I saw these mannequins stacked neatly in a window. I rotated the picture 90 degrees anticlockwise.
Other objects which were stacked neatly were these wooden crates placed ever so carefully at a slight angle along the central island in Princes Street.
The bright red colour was attention grabbing - then I noticed the USER MANUAL INSIDE label. "Congratulations on buying this cherrypicker..."
A shortcut for pedestrians heading up to the Royal Mile from Princes Street at The Mound.
Looking west, a big expanse of recently relaid tarmac. The previous effort cracked up despite never having seen any trams.
You could buy a 'Tardis' police box by phoning the number. (Occupied now in 2016)
This pair of Edinburgh visitors are more concerned with finding each other in busy places.
The faded lettering below says ALBERT GALLERY.
Overlooking the scene are the bronze statues.
A closer look at the woman's likeness.
Zoomed in more for fine detail.
They're not done digging up Princes Street yet...
Excavations in South Saint Andrew Street.
We finally have an escalator at Waverley Steps.
Princes Street was lined with temporary take-away food establishments. These cubicles allow the process to be completed should the need arise.
Photo taken during afternoon rehearsals at the Ross Bandstand in the shadow of the castle.
The same image but cropped to better show the gaps between pixels.
Walter Scott looking as if he's wrapped in a blanket and sending a text message. In the background St Giles Cathedral is partly obscured by the dreich weather.
Looking at the former Woolworth's building at the east end of Princes Street. It would appear they're preserving the shell whilst gutting the interior.
How it looks from the top of Waverley Steps. It became the Apple store.
The Balmoral Hotel and the old Woolworth's building from in front of Register House.
11th July 2012 and the missing link from Princes Street to St Andrew Square is nearing completion.
A closer look at the rubber sleeves fitted under the rails where they rest on the concrete sleepers. This should reduce noise.
Some infrared photographs of Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens west of the Mound. All photographed on July 14th 2012.
Same viewpoint as the previous picture but zoomed in on the General Assembly Hall. The green foliage reflects infrared light, hence its snowy appearance.
A study in tone and texture. Detail of a tree trunk.
A classic view of Edinburgh Castle, albeit an unusual one in infrared.
A wide angle view of the foliage near the railway catches a glimpse of Edinburgh Castle high above.
Just round the corner from Princes Street stands the Caley Cinema in Lothian Road
Cyclists must acquire a skill earlier generations learned, of crossing tramlines at enough of an angle so as not to get a trapped wheel.
There would appear to be sufficient signs warning cyclists of the danger of tramlines. As Doctor Hook once said If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing.
We preferred to see in the New Year at home but later in the morning of January 1st 2013 I took advantage of the sunshine. This is the view east from South Charlotte Street.
It almost sounds like a threat: STROBE LIGHTING WILL BE USED
At the foot of The Mound is the Royal Scottish Academy.
From what I can gather, this is a statue of the young Queen Victoria.
The spiral ramp in this car park would be a fun place to descend on a skate board or inline skates.
A sunny Saturday afternoon in Princes Street Gardens. It's late April and the trees are beginning to bud. Photographed in infrared.
Another infrared view of Princes Street Gardens with the silhouette of Edinburgh Castle in the background.
The floral clock has yet to appear, consequently the steps are vacant of visitors, except for two sitting on the top of the stone parapet.
July 21st 2013 was the Carnival day. Princes Street was closed from South Charlotte Street to The Mound and given over to the performers and the crowds.
This group reminded me of The Bonzo Dog Doodah Band.
Looking east along Princes Street at the crowds of people enjoying the sunshine.
All I know about this band is that they're Always Drinking even when they're not drinking.
Sadly, I can't tell you where this percussion group is from but they sounded amazing. Toes were tapping.
Nearer to The Mound, we encountered this group. Opposite the shops, Princes Street Gardens was just as busy as the street.
I walked through Princes Street Gardens on 1st September 2013 and saw preparations under way for the fireworks.
I walked through Princes Street Gardens on 1st September 2013 and saw preparations under way for the fireworks.
Edinburgh's mini Kelpies are the original scale models of the full size Kelpies. These were located at the west end of Princes Street.
Infrared photograph taken from Mound Place showing part of the Royal Scottish Academy behind the Scottish National Gallery.
I prefer this version but there's no Edinburgh landmarks to indicate its whereabouts.
Infrared photo taken in Princes Street Gardens, west of The Mound and below Edinburgh Castle Esplanade. There's a mere glimpse of Princes Street itself behind the trees on the right.
There's no mistaking the outline of Edinburgh Castle in this infrared image. The long grass looks nice in any wavelength of light.
Lovely shaggy white grass dominates the foreground in this view up toward the seating for the tattoo. It's not white of course; it's just that chlorophyll reflects infrared light.
Further west along the path. While the tattoo seats occupy the castle esplanade the higher paths are closed.
Another view showing the castle's outline behind the trees.
A magpie stands on the path.
Photographed from the foot of the slope, down near the railway lines.
The upgraded roof looks immaculate in this view in 2015.
Zoomed in a little here for a better view of North Bridge and the buildings which flank it on either side, The Carlton and The Scotsman.
POLICE REGULATIONS ENFORCED - An old sign which implies that if you urinate here a policeman will spring into action and arrest you.
In the pond at Saint Andrew Square Gardens is this crocodile. I think it got stolen.
A wider view setting the scene, showing the east end of George Street.
Immaculately dressed and aggressively Scottish. I used to see him at Bruntsfield walking with the aid of a stick.
Whilst standing waiting on a human controlled checkout my Autographer took a few photos which I later combined into an animated GIF.
Traveling down the escalator at Waverley Steps.
The Ross Open Air Theatre at the centre of Princes Street Gardens (west). Up at the back a tall crane is assembling the seating on the castle esplanade.
Another look at the Ross Open Air Theatre, this time with the castle in the background.
Sunny weather at the end of May brings visitors to the gardens for lunch, to enjoy the view, or just to rest weary legs after a shopping expedition.
Willow trees, photographed in infrared, are favoured by me for their appearance like a white feather boa. (HD 1080p picture)
A wider view of one of my favourite trees. High up above is the Assembly Hall at Mound Place and to its right, part of Ramsay Garden.
It's not too difficult to distinguish old from new in this view from Rose Street.
So many arms outstretched at an angle is rather like a Hitler salute - but of course they're holding phones and cameras.
Not to be outdone by spectators, this participant is making his own video.
I photographed this member of a drummer group last year. They had different costumes this time.
That drummer is walking behind the man with the JVC camcorder, whose smile suggests he's happy that his camera's working ok.
More colourful costumes.
Almost disappearing behind their elaborate costumes, playing trombone and trumpet.
The Junkanoo Commandos' Steel drums must be heavy.
Blue and purple colours contrast with the yellow and green. The sousaphone is most impressive.
Meuse Lane passes under the fire escape on the right and under a more recent building with lots of glass panels and windows.
I spotted these unusual set of mannequins in a Princes Street window. I've named them 'bawheids' in the Scots vernacular.
Photographed from outside Jenners, showing the statue of Henry Dundas.
A cycle lane photographed at a time when there were no cyclists. Looking west along George Street from St Andrew Square.
The red lipstick-coloured fag-end/butt was already in its photogenic position at the junction of Rose Street and Hanover Street.
Two shots of a café in Shandwick Place, a café with a social heart.
A closer look at the illustration of a beggar saying KEEP YOUR COINS, I WANT CHANGE.
Photographed from the top deck of a bus. She looks more helpless than the male double amputee seen near St John's church.
The first of 4 Autographer photos taken on this day. I had my 30p ready but didn't need it.
A chance, candid shot of which I had no knowledge until I plugged my Autographer into my desktop computer.
This corner of the old Waverley Market wasn't accessible before, so close to the North British Hotel. Nowadays it's the Waverley Mall and the Balmoral Hotel.
A glass ceiling protects people from rain etc. For decades people had to climb the steps before there was an escalator or lift.
Elaborate ornamental ironwork on this walkway connecting Waverley Steps to Market Street.
A brass band is busking while this man waits outside a Princes Street shop.
After a recent visit to Dean Village this was the view after climbing Bells Brae.
A long lens view of the same scene, looking from Lyndoch Place towards the West End.
Looking straight along Princes Street from a vantage point on Calton Hill.
'I love Mummy' says the text on this lost baby's dummy. Someone had placed it on the parapet beside the floral clock in Princes Street Gardens.
The next 24 pictures were taken from the Scott Monument on 31 May 2016. The first pictures were taken from lower levels. This is the corner of South St David Street.
I first photographed these stone women in the '70s. The coloured dress worn by one of the mannequins contrasts with the stonework.
A tram curves left from Princes Street into South St Andrew Street. An open top double decker bus is taking visitors on a sight seeing trip.
The first of several photos of Salisbury Crags. Walkers can be seen on the summit of Arthur's Seat, on top of the crags as well as on the Radical Road footpath along the bottom.
Zoomed in on the crags. A few birds are soaring on the updraughts.
Zoomed in more, looking at walkers standing close to the cliff edge.
The building is no longer Forsyth's store but those of us who remember the missing sphere still refer to it as the Forsyth Sphere. Work is underway to restore it.
Forsyth Sphere (earlier photo)
At the foot of the picture two cyclists are about to enter the lift which will descend to Waverley Station. Part of North Bridge disappears behind the Balmoral Hotel.
A higher viewpoint, level with the top storey of the Jenners building.
Zoomed in on the site of the Forsyth Sphere.
Domes are the theme in this view. The Firth of Forth is to the left of Calton Hill.
A similar view to Crags 01 featuring the City Art Centre - but from higher up.
Behind the chimney tops on the right can be seen part of Queens Drive, the road which circles round Arthur's Seat.
Here can be seen lots of walkers on the Radical Road, on the top of the crags above and on Arthur's Seat.
Zoomed in further on the crags and Radical Road.
On the roof of the RSA (Royal Scottish Academy) a larger than life statue overlooks the scene as visitors and shoppers stroll along Princes Street in the sunshine.
Zooming in on the shoppers and the buses. Only buses, trams, taxis and cyclists are allowed along Princes Street.
Looking past Edinburgh Castle to Dalmahoy Hill. The white construction behind the yellow field is Heriot Watt University's new sports building.
The spire of St Cuthbert's stands in front of the Caley Hotel and points the way to the Five Sisters shale bing (slag heap) near West Calder.
Western Harbour is behind the pillar of the Melville Memorial which stands in the centre of St Andrew Square. Men are working on the nearby roof.
Zoomed in on one of the workers who would seem to be having a rest, perhaps enjoying the view.
Waverley Station, Market Street and North Bridge.
Murrayfield Stadium in the middle distance and the Five Sisters shale bing about 17 miles away.
Beside the RSA at the foot of The Mound some architecture exhibits.
Very busy here today with an anti-Trident rally nearby.
The Vilnius construction had lots of photos of people inside, presumably Lithuanians.
The ubiquitous Wetherspoon has taken over these premises.
Not the actual Booking Office. It looks quite smart on Waverley Bridge with North Bridge behind.
The corner of George Street and S St David Sreet.
Mother and younger children.
Father and oldest child.
August 4, 2016 in St Andrew Square.
The Spiegel Tent. We saw Neil Innes in it at George Square Gdns.
